Check out this very cool and interesting upcoming show from Brokentalkers. I encourage all to check it out!

The show is called The Mirror Stage. It aims to challenge mental health stigma and deepen understanding of, and encourage discussion in society about, what psychosis means to the people who experience it. It is part of this cross-disciplinary research programme: https://psistarstudy.eu/

 

The show is a collaboration between people who have experienced psychosis; 6 PhD students researching psychosis; universities (e.g. RCSI, UCD, Trinity); and a highly skilled and internationally renowned theatre company called Broken Talkers. Brokentalkers have a track record of creating accessible, socially urgent theatre that fosters empathy and promotes advocacy.

 

Here is a YouTube video that gives you a taster of the show:

There are previews on 5^th and 6^th Nov and subsequent shows until 12^th November (with a performance and Post-Show Talk that I am a part of on 11^th November).
